There are plenty of bills related to housing in the legislature this year. And while each bill's chances of passing varies, advocates are calling on the governor to advance a full housing agenda and address things from homelessness to tenants rights to safety at public housing complexes. The Housing Justice for All Coalition says Cuomo has not done enough to address the problems faced by low-income New Yorkers, and in fact the group says the situation has gotten worse under his watch. Joining us to explain more are Renata Pumarol, deputy director of New York Communities for Change, and Jess Wisneski of Citizen Action of New York.
